Effective AI Agents Are All You Need

This repo is a collection of different experiments, projects, and notebooks I created to explore how to build effective AI agents!

I wanted to dive head-first into building AI agents and learn how to work with a a diverse toolkit of the latest innovations in LLMs, agents, and frameworks.

What I learned!

Some of the tools I've played around with through this adventure include:

• Claude
• LangChain and LangGraph
• the Instructor library
• Pydantic
• Tool-calling frameworks
• Structured output
• And more!

Resources

I found the following resources super helpful while exploring how to build effective AI agents:

• Anthropic's guide on Building Effective AI Agents
  • And Anthropic's cookbook for building effective agents
• Dave Ebbelaar's YouTube tutorials and AI Cookbook
• LangChain's YouTube tutorial on how to build effective agents with LangChain as well as their Notion page
• LangChain's official documentation and tutorials
  • LangGraph also has their own walkthrough on building effective agents
• CodeBasic's AI Agents YouTube tutorial and GitHub repo

Fantastic APIs I found while coding this project!

• Hardcover for looking up books and authors
• TMDB for movie information
• The Art Institute of Chicago's API for art
